Source code repo for tool to download "photos of me" on facebook
Right now I'm having people download "production" files in a zip from here: https://github.com/liamcollins/facebook-photo-downloader
Eventually these two repos should probably be merged.
In the meantime a few things that could be made better:
- Obviously the "WindowsFormsApp1" name should go.
- Using xpath the way I am currently is very fragile and will break as soon as facebook changes anything. Xpaths could possibly be tweaked to be at least a little less fragile. Xpaths could be pulled live from somewhere so that they can be updated for those who have already downloaded the exe. Maybe there's a completely better way.
- Deployment is a problem - it would be good to bundle everything in such a way that there is either an installer or just one exe file for download, not a whole zip file.
- Maybe some kind of open licensing agreement?
- Note about "as is" nature of software.
- Not necessary but would be a cool addition to actually download videos too.
- JIT debugging should be enabled. Also main window should close automatically when chrome is closed, not give ugly error.
